Moving Solutions for Dunbar Homes
Dunbar is a working harbour town on the East Lothian coast, sitting roughly 28 miles east of Edinburgh city centre.
It has its own distinct character, from the fishing quay at Victoria Harbour to the high street shops along the A1087.
That means moving here is not the same as moving in central Edinburgh.
You need a team that knows the local roads and the real access challenges.
Giant Van has been running removals in and out of Dunbar for years.
We know the difference between a straightforward move along Bayswell Road and a tricky delivery to one of the seafront flats on Bayswell Park.
Our man and van service starts from £48 for a single-item move and covers everything from student flat clearances to full household shifts.
You get a trained driver, a clean van, and proper protective blankets for your furniture.
There are no hidden charges.
The price you see in your instant quote is the price you pay.
We handle the loading and unloading, and we treat your belongings with the same care we would give our own.
If you need help with packing, we can arrange that too, starting from £150.
Same-day availability means you do not have to plan weeks in advance.
Message us on live chat to check availability today.
Dunbar: Parking and Access Sorted
Available in Edinburgh, dunbar has a mix of road types that affects every removal job.
The A1 dual carriageway runs close to the town and is straightforward for our large vans.
However, the town centre itself presents tighter conditions.
High Street and Westgate have on-street parking bays that fill up quickly, particularly on market days and during summer.
Properties on Castle Street and Countess Road often have no off-street parking at all.
If you live in a tenement flat or a Victorian terrace near the old harbour, access for a long-wheelbase van can be very tight.
We always check these details before arrival.
Our drivers call ahead to confirm the best drop-off point.
Where a large van cannot get close, we use a smaller transit and make additional trips, keeping your quote accurate from the start.
The EH42 postcode also covers several rural roads leading out toward Innerwick and Broxburn.
These can narrow to single-track in places.
Our drivers carry ramps and sack trucks as standard so that difficult access does not mean damaged goods or an aborted job.
Dunbar train station on Station Road is a useful landmark for directions.
We advise booking a loading bay permit from East Lothian Council if your move involves a busy town centre street.
This avoids fines and keeps the move running on time.
We can advise on how to apply when you book.

Work Out Your Moving CostThings That Simplify a Dunbar Move
Here are five things that make a real difference.
If you live near the harbour or on High Street, contact East Lothian Council at least 48 hours before your move date. A reserved loading bay keeps our van close to your door and cuts loading time by up to 40 minutes on a typical two-bedroom flat.
When boxes are stacked in the van, you cannot see the top label. Writing on the side takes 10 extra seconds per box but saves a lot of unpacking confusion at the other end.
Beds, wardrobes and shelving units take up far less van space when broken down. This can reduce your quote by up to one van load on a larger move.
Tell our driver before loading begins. We carry extra padding blankets and can give your glassware and artwork priority positioning in the van.
If you are moving into a new build estate on the outskirts of Dunbar, like the developments near Summerfield Road, some roads have restricted parking that our driver needs to plan around. A quick check saves a lot of time on arrival.
